  1. If a person forgets his MS account pin, how can it be recovered?


    I'm in W10 version 1909, built 18363.657, and I've tried whatever I can think of but MS wants my pin before I can download a browser extension from the Store, but I keep coming back to the screen that wants the pin even when I indicate that I've forgotten it. What a bunch of BS!

    :)
